I really try not to complain about winter. It is what it is and I love having four seasons so have to accept it. but this cold is just unbearable!!! I don't even want to walk to my mailbox or my car to go to places I need to go like grocery shopping!!! So needless to say by yesterday there was nothing planned or available for dinner. Husband is working 12 hour days so he gets home very late. He offered to go up to deli and get some chicken for dinner. Awesome. I get to stay home and warm up. He sends a text the deli is closed and will be bringing home----TACO BELL!!!!!! OMG!! Panic mood kicks in, I just had pizza last night there is NO way I can justify taco bell tonight! I open pantry door and freezer looking for SOMETHING I can eat! Finally see a small ham in freezer and few eggs, cheese and mushrooms. YES, I can throw ham in Instant Pot (thank you for Christmas gift) and have an omelette for dinner. Just as he gets home from small shopping trip at grocery store and bag full of Taco Bell, I'm sitting down to a healthy omelette . I was so proud of myself! But....mental note need to be more prepared for times like this. Winter has just started. UGH!

You did great... Congratulations.  

It is cold here in SC. and roads are frozen. 

But regardless of the weather I always have a freezer full of meats and keto dishes. If nothing else - I have frozen fish and frozen veggies. And burgers. Good already cooked burgers. Sirloin burgers from Costco. Meat and spices. They are not low fat - but if I warm them up with a touch of water on a skillet (they are cooked- grilled) I can then used 2 layers of paper towels to get rid of some of the fat. If I need to.
